As the first book, it lacks something of the real draw of the subsequent novels as the characters are united for the first time, but the book is still a worthy read and a must for any Grimes fan. Grimes is a superb storyteller, and not only engages you with a well written mystery but draws you in with her quirky, humorous, and eminently likeable characters in their fictitious village Long Piddleton. Grimes uses the story of murder in a small town to set the stage for one of the most popular mystery series in the world, the Richard Jury mysteries.
This is the first in the Martha Grimes Richard Jury series, and a must for any mystery fan to read.
